Volkswagen Smashes FWD Nürburgring Lap Record With 306bhp Golf GTI Clubsport S

Volkswagen has claimed the Nürburgring lap record for front-wheel-drive cars with its  306bhp Golf GTI Clubsport S ahead of the car’s unveiling at the Wörthersee VW enthusiast event this week.

The Clubsport SVW's hottest Golf GTI yet, is more powerful than even the four-wheel-drive Golf R and is VW’s most track-focused Golf GTI yet, recorded a 7min 49.21sec lap around the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Prior to the Clubsport S's official unveiling, Autocar was granted exclusive access to the car and its engineers during final testing at the German circuit.

and then it breaks down and the dealer blames you for causing the shitty "quality" of Volkswagens.

Burn this turd in fire if it cannot meet the quality/durability/reliability of cars costing half as much.

Obliterate it with a V6 Mustang...or a Camry.
